The Bay Area’s Most Experienced ADA Contractor
Guaranteed ADA Compliance at Your Bay Area Building
Does Your Business Need ADA Compliance Construction?
If you’re the owner of a business or public building, you should care about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ADA compliance requires understanding the set of laws and codes designed to ensure individuals with handicaps or disabilities do not face discrimination as they go about their daily lives, including using your facility.
Making sure you meet the law and all applicable ADA code, however, is not always simple. The easiest way to make sure your ADA compliance is up to par is by turning to a contractor specializing in ADA compliance for help.
Airtight Construction is proud to specialize in ADA compliance as a value-added service on any commercial project.
Do You Have an ADA Compliant Building?
The Americans with Disabilities Act was enacted in 1990, and all businesses built after that date must be in compliance from the moment you build on the property. Older buildings must do their best to fall in line, removing all barriers which are “readily achievable and easily accomplished without much difficulty or expense.”
This is where the services of a contractor with experience in ADA compliance can make a difference on your next project. What does “readily achievable” actually mean for your facility? It’s going to be different for a local Bay Area restaurant than it is for an international company listed on the stock exchange, as ADA compliance is typically evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Officials will look at the access the property already has, where it’s feasible to bring the building up to code, and where it would be cost-punitive.
For new construction, ADA compliance covers everything from the width of disabled-accessible parking spots, how high sinks can be fitted, and the width of restroom stall doors. The ADA sets how many parking bays must be designed with accessibility compliance in mind. It can affect your choice of paving, how many ramps you need, and the overall building (and parking) design.
It’s important to note that many ADA code violations businesses face come from their parking lots. Asphalt paving on ramps, for example, can be a challenge, but fully ADA compliant when handled correctly.
As a construction contractor, our focus is on helping you with the often confusing accessibility laws that apply to all public buildings and business property. All businesses, from a laundromat to a bank or chain hotel, need to be in compliance with the ADA. Airtight Construction is ready to help on projects of all sizes—on new construction and renovations.
